Wed, 14 Feb 2018 18:48:21 GMTFor any Veteran, wife or husband of, or family member concerned about a veterans mental health I'd just like to post some options for support. For a lot of years as an RMN (Registered Mental Health Nurse) Iv'e worked with ex military personnel in the North East and sadly those days have ended. Ex service personnel have a lot of quite specific needs that their training and often morals preclude them from accessing. These people are in my opinion the salt of the earth but that's not important. Their needs are hugely important and as funding issues/re-commissioning/governments change we all need to know where to point a veteran with any any mental health, and possibly, associated addiction problems.

There are a lot of agencies I know of that can also provide training/education/employment options for veterans free of charge. Also a lot of housing options available for relocating and/or homeless veterans.
